My memory is fading,i remember 4 out of 5,but WTF were "Deeleyboppers" ?

 

[Colin B]

I thought exactly the same.

Were they those stupid baubles on sticks that people wore on their heads as some sort of "amusing" accessory?

 

[Andy Stroud]

Yep, that’s what they were.

Also on that day, I turned 21 ?

I saw Jim’s first match in charge at Ashton Gate, Bristol City from the home end a few
days after he was appointed.

From memory the away end was uncovered then and it was hosing it down that day.

We won 2-0.
